Gladstone witnessed its first murder this year early Sunday morning as a verbal dispute turned deadly in the Northland area.

Legislators Renew Efforts to Bring Royals to the KC Northland.

Oh, what a time to be alive! Ah, yet another grand political gesture to keep sports teams happy—because heaven forbid billion-dollar franchises endure anything less than “state of the art” luxury. Despite the fact that a poll conducted in 2023, showed that 70% of Clay County Residents opposed subsidizing construction of a Royals Stadium in North Kansas City, State Senator Maggie Nurrenbern, a Kansas City Democrat has bravely stepped up to file legislation authorizing Clay County to create a sports complex authority. Her noble cause? To develop and maintain sports, convention, and trade facilities—because nothing screams "urgent legislative priority" like making sure wealthy team owners like John Sherman benefit the residents with more heavy stadium traffic while only asking for a 37-year tax abatement. Nurrenburn, the master negotiator, and her trusty band are on a quest to save the good people of Clay County. At the urging of Clay county commissioner Jason Withington...

Macy's has confirmed the location at 400 NW Barry Road is slated to close next month, marking the final chapter for one of Kansas City’s most iconic but beleaguered shopping landmarks. A Struggle to Survive The Metro North Mall was once a jewel in the crown of Kansas City’s retail scene. Opened in 1976, it featured a skating rink, movie theaters, and dozens of stores that catered to the city's northern suburbs. For decades, it thrived as a community hub. By the 2000s, however, the mall struggled to compete with newer shopping destinations like Zona Rosa, coupled with the rise of online shopping. As the mall fell into decline, stores shuttered one by one, until it was finally demolished in 2...
